The right ventricle then pumps the blood back out of the heart into the lungs to be replenished with oxygen. Right-sided or right ventricular (RV) heart failure usually occurs as a result of left-sided failure. When the left ventricle fails, increased fluid pressure is, in effect, transferred back through the lungs, ultimately damaging the heart's right side.
Right heart failure: Introduction. Failure of the right side of the heart to pump blood efficiently which causes the blood to back up and produce congestion. It can be caused by conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, heart valve disease and is frequently associated with coronary artery disease. Any type of heart failure is a serious medical condition.
